Tens of millions of people will starve if Strait of Hormuz not reopened within weeks, UN task force warns

A UN official warned that tens of millions could starve if the Strait of Hormuz isn't reopened within weeks, citing a global energy crisis triggered by the conflict between Iran and the US. The situation has led to a blockade of Iranian ports, escalating tensions. The UN is urging countries to allow essential farming materials through the strait to mitigate the risk of global food insecurity.
